During the interim trading period, OPAP governance gained more favourable terms for the group’s long-term debt structure, securing a new 5-year €250 million debt loan with Eurobank.

Closing interim 2018 trading, a streamlined OPAP would declare a group EBITDA of €141 million (H1 2017: €116 million), combined with period net profits of €66 million (H1 2017: €58 million).

OPAP governance is confident of achieving its full-year 2018 expectations, highlighting an improved outlook for the Greek economy following the nation ending its ‘economic adjustment programs’ this August and upgrading its Credit rating.
